Is there a way to search the latest version of every file in TFS for a specific string or regex? This is probably the only thing I miss from Visual Source Safe...
Currently I perform a Get Latest on the entire codebase and use Windows Search, but this gets quite painful with over 1GB of code in 75,000 files.
EDIT: Tried the powertools mentioned, but the "Wildcard Search" option appears to only search filenames and not contents.
UPDATE: We have implemented a customised search option in an existing MOSS (Search Server) installation.
Team Foundation Server 2015 (on-premises) and Visual Studio Team Services (cloud version) include built-in support for searching across all your code and work items.
You can do simple string searches like foo
, boolean operations like foo OR bar
or more complex language-specific things like class:WebRequest
